Happy Father's Day


This photo of my father will always stay in my heart.   This is how I will always remember him.  Busy, curious and making something.  I followed him around most of my youth.  He was the most influential person in my life.  He built boats, he grew grapes and made wine, he flew planes, he taught me photography, he fixed everything.  He passed away 27 years ago and I still miss him.  I love you, Daddy!

  5. Such a wonderful photograph Nancy of your lovely Dad, thanks for sharing it with us. I lost my dad 26 years ago and I miss him and think about him often. He was very creative and I am sure I inherited that from him.

  7. Love your photograph! Your dad sounds like a very talented man, thanks for sharing memories of him. I am still lucky enough to have my dad, but lost my mom 6 years ago last week. We never stop missing them, do we?

  9. You were truly blessed, Nancy, to have had such a caring and loving dad. Thank you for sharing your insights with us. I lost both my parents within six years of each other 26 years ago, and still miss them both. I was blessed, also, with a very loving family. Hugs and peace to you!
